App of the Week: New York Subway Gets an App to Track Trains

Good news for riders of America’s largest subway system! New York’s Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) recently released a Subway Time app for passengers with iPhones and iPod Touch devices. The app reveals train-arrival times on seven of the city’s 24 lines (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 lines, along with the 42nd Street Shuttle). Although the new app covers only about a third of the subway system, it’s still a big step forward.
